Hi Jane,

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Thanks! I'm interested in making soaps for my family since we have sensitive skin. I have a 3 and a 5 year old so something gentle, effective and practical would be ideal. Many thanks!!

People normally suggest castile as the most gentle soap; however, it takes a long time to cure. I don't care for 100% olive oil because of its lather. You could make a bastile with olive and coconut for better lather; although it would also need a little longer curing time. Also, adding some goat milk, buttermilk, or cream would help to make it milder.
